Simple Drop Biscuits

This is considered a “drop biscuit” recipe. Which is, in my opinion, the best kind of biscuit to make. It doesn’t require any chilling, rolling, or kneading of the dough.

Simply mix the biscuit ingredients together and drop them by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet and they are ready to bake!

How to Make Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

You only need a couple ingredients for this recipe:

  • Bisquick original mix
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • milk
  • butter
  • garlic powder
drop biscuit dough in a bowl

Step 1

In a bowl lightly mix together 2 cups Bisquick mix, ⅔ cup milk, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 2

Drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet, it is about ¼ cup per biscuit.

This dough is pretty sticky, so I recommend dropping the biscuits using an ice cream scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup that has been greased with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 3

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the tops are golden and they are cooked through.

Melt the butter and garlic powder together in the microwave. When the biscuits come out of the oven brush the tops, generously, with the butter mixture.

Step 4

Serve warm!

Storing

Store your leftover biscuits in an airtight container or plastic baggie at room temp for up to 4 days.

Serving

Just like this Beer Bread, these Garlic Cheddar Biscuits make excellent table bread. Or they would be a great biscuit replacement for this Chicken & Biscuits recipe. Here are some other entrees that would go great with these biscuits:

  • a small cast iron skillet with garlic butter shrimp and a couple lemon wedges
    15 Minute Garlic Butter Shrimp
  • blackened tilapia recipe on a platter
    15 Minute Blackened Tilapia
  • BBQ meatballs on a plate

  • Cajun shrimp in a skillet with lemons
